Oscar Nominees: Short Films

I first predicted these categories last year and scored 10/15 total. I was able to see all fifteen films last year on the weekend before the Oscars, and I hope to have that same opportunity this year, though I’m not entirely sure if I’ll be able to. Either way, for now, here are the nominees, and I’ll offer commentary once I’ve seen them all, or at least watched trailers. If you’ve seen any of these films, pleas say so below!

The nominees: The Barber of Birmingham: Foot soldier of the Civil Rights Movement, God is the Bigger Elvis, Incident in New Baghdad, Saving Face, The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom
